Austmine says it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Mining Suppliers Trade Association (MSTA Canada) seeking to formally continue work on expanding collaboration between the two organisations.

Signed on June 10, 2022, during the MSTA Canada Annual Forum in Toronto, Canada, the MoU will focus on creating a global network of Canadian and Australian METS supplier companies; driving collaboration in the open innovation space; cross-promoting the industry sector; and cooperating towards transforming mining to a zero-waste industry.

Austmine says it is the leading not-for-profit industry association for the Australian mining equipment, technology and services (METS) sector, providing members with opportunities to build relationships, understand industry needs, boost their industry profile and access domestic and international supply chains.

Founded in 1981 as the Canadian Association of Mining Equipment and Services for Export (CAMESE), MSTA CANADA connects mining supply and services companies to business opportunities across Canada, and around the world.
